Fan Appreciation Night was FANTASTIC !

Thanks to Stittsville Trailers for sponsoring our Fan Appreciation Night, and thanks to Nortrax for coming out with some of their heavy equipment. What a beautiful night for racing, and for our fans to get an opportunity to come onto the track and meet our drivers and see our race cars up close. It was a warm night to watch some hot stock car racing action and our drivers didn't disappoint.

Late Models - Tim Kirby appeared to have the feature in the bag until a yellow flag late in the race caused the field to bunch up again for a 2 lap race to the checkered. Tim Kirby had built up some debris on his tires and when the green flag flew again, Steve Munro who started outside pole took off while Tim spun his tires. That was all Steve Munro needed to take the lead and the checkered flag.

Legends - Kevin Foisy back only one day from running in the Legnds Million Dollar race in Charlotte, North Carolina started back in the field but as the race went on, Kevin moved up lap by lap until he got to the front and when Kevin gets to the front it is a fore gone conclusion that he will not be passed by anyone. Kevin Finished 6th in the Masters Division in Charlotte and could be considered the best Master driver in Canada and he has showed us why with his 6th Feature win at CCS. As good as Mr Foisy is we had some real contenders just behind him. The pack seems to be gettting faster and will continue to challenge Kevin for the remainder of the year.

Thunder - Greg Ogilvie took the Thunder Feature after getting a jump on the rest of the field. Todd Musker and Dave Stinson battled most of the way in second and third, giving Greg a great opportunity to get a lead on both of them. Todd Musker ended up second with Dave Stinson third. Jessica Passinetti had a great night finishing fourth.

Mini Stock - Trevor Hartwick in only his second night out with his new car took his first feature win. I had spoke with Trevor earlier in the day and he had said to me that if he was only going to win one race, this was the one he wanted to win. Well he did just that. Trevor had a smile on his face that will not go away for at least a week. It was one of those feel good moments and I was happy to be there to see it. I don't think this will be the only win by Trevor this year, but they will not compare to his first win on Stittsville Trailers Night.

Four for Fun - Soon this will be called the AJ Dickie class, as AJ keeps picking up the hardware each and every week. Jason Moss came close a number of times but could not make that final pass to take the lead.

Thanks goes out to Al Dickie of AD Motorsports and Canadian Tire - Carling Ave for their donation of the bikes for the draw. We had some happy faces leaving the track with their new bikes.

  1. I was there and it was a great night. Just can't beat the growl of the engines as they screech around the corners.

    Thanks to everyone for running a great night.
